Copying the English Gnrden.
There Is one pood result of all this
invasion of English society by Ameri
can women. One of the finest things,
,ln the land of Shakespeare and the
suffragette Is the characteristic Eng
lish garden, and the American women
who have wandered across the Atlan
tic In search of social excitement have
adapted the English garden as their
own. Mrs. John Jacob Astor has set
her mind upon a typical garden for
her Newport home, and Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney and Mrs. John It.
Drexel are among others who have
the same plan In view. The change
'will be welcome, especially as It will
drive out the hard Italian gardens
with their out-of-place statuary, and
the Japanese gardens with their fool
ish stone decorations. It Is not
strange that the garden as It grows
In England has caught the fancy of
American women, for It Is Just what
a garden means, with Its bursting
glory everywhere, Its trim box hedges,
Its rose ramblers, Ms sweet peas and
Its honeysuckle, Its flower beds. Its
shrubs and Its narrow white graveled
walks. May Van Alen and her father,
James J. Van Alen, together laid out
an English garden In Newport half a
dozen .years ago, but Miss Van Alen
tried In vain then to Induce other
young women to follow her example.

Her Figure Paved.
Age begins to tell after sixty. One
thust dress to meet it. There is no
reason for the figure to lose its
Btraightness or Its good lines. These
deplorable conditions are alwayg due
to Indolence. Lazy women will tell
you they are due to sickness; but the
real reason lies In lack of endeavor
and the will to keep one's self erect.
The present-day women, who are be
tween seventy and eighty years old,
and were' trained In a school of de
portment that compelled them to
walk, stand and sit correctly, are as
straight and shapely as many of our
younger women. It was the Interme
diate generation that went to pieces.
Women of this age should never
think ot wearing any colors but
Raspberry Jelly With Cream Ice. Put half a pound or a
pint of loaf sugar Into a stewpan with half a pint of cold
water and the thinly pared rind of two lemons. Let the
water come to a boll and then simmer for ten minutes. Stew
until all the Juice has been drawn from them. Pass the juice
through a fine hair sieve. Then measure and re-heat in the
proportion of half an ounce to each pint ot liquid. Taste to
see if it requires any more sugar and strain it into a basin.
Put a cup of milk into a double boiler with eight tablespoon
fuls of sugar and the thinly pared rind of a lemon. Stir on
the Btove until the sugar has dissolved and leave until cold.
Whip a cup of cream, stlr.lt Into the basin containing the
cooked milk and freeze. Serve together with raspberry Jelly.

white, black shades of violet and soft
gray. They should avoid anything
with tones of blue, brown, red and
green. They should cling to white
for every hour that it is possible to
wear it.
Stiff linens are not for them, nor
heavy cotton, but soft muslin in all
its forms. Embroidery of every kind
can be worn as well as lace, but age
must never tamper with inferior
Quality of either.
If her neck has the fullness that
' age often gives she can well adapt
the present-day collars of soft fine
lingerie that roll back from the neck
band and are fastened with a brooch
at .a slight point in the front.
The old-fashioned way of cutting
a blouse to a V In front and edging
It with ruching is still one of the gen
eral fashions. The empire gowns
with long full skirts make the best
models for clothes. Elbow sleeves
are always pretty when a woman has
a nice arm.
As for headgear, that must remain
a woman's own choice. The old
fashioned bonnet Is quite out of style,
but in its place there Is a small hat
ot soft Neapolitan straw or horsehair
trimmed with flowers.
A woman may add soft strings of
satin to tie under the chin, but as a
rule this Is not done. New Haven
Register.
To Walk Gracefully.
The modern girl is at her worst
when she walks. .Her feet are
dressed In low shoes with high heels
and her stride is out of all proportion
to her height. Her Tight arm is
swung vigorously back and forth,
while the left one clutches a hand
bag and holds it at the waist line
with elbow aggressive. Her chest Is
depressed and her head, with Its mar
velous adornment, is thrust forward.
The present fashion In shoes is
partly responsible for the awkward
ness ot our girls, declares a writer In
Vogue. Shoes with high heels tip
the foot down, preventing the beauti
ful spring of the Jnstep arch. If such
shoes could be reserved tor the house
and girls wear well shaped walking
boots out of doors they would not
only be more graceful but would find
more pleasure in walking which as
an exercise has much to commend i
Three suggestions will help any. one
who wishes to walk gracefully and
with the alertness which Is character
istic of youth; the forward foot
should point practically straight. (the
strongest position in supporting
weight) ; the back foot should push
the body forward; the chest should
be high and forward. . As long as we
live we must hold ourselves' up by
muscular effort, and when we have
learned the right way It soon becomes
a matter of habit.
When a girl walks heavily she Is
always walking Incorrectly and Is
never graceful. Girls, are not alto
gether to blame for this, as they 'are
told, from childhood to "throw their
shoulders back," which has a tend
ency to put the weight In the heels,
a strain on the back and to throw the
head forward. Instead the young
should be told to throw the chest for
ward and the head and shoulders will
take their right position.
Relaxation la the second thing nec
essary for grace, as well as for the
nerves. .But relaxation does not
mean merely collapsing In a lacka
daisical sort of way and being "wil
lowy." It means having the power
to control the muscles letting those
rest which are not needed for the
Immediate work. ' Motion, of course,
Is at the joints, and the muscles mov
ing them may be made to act rythm
lcally by a little practice. The body
being constructed for movement re
sponds quickly to the pendulum-like
swing of the leg from the hip and the
harmonious yet very slight swing of
the arm. A woman's arms are stiff
because her shoulders are usually
tense. When the chest Is Active the
shoulders will drop in place, and the
arms should hang at the sides.
The Sensitive Girl.
She has a hard enough time, good
ness knows, even among her family
and friends, for her feelings are al
ways being hurt by some of them.
But when she goes Into the business
world it will seem to fairly bristle
with thorns, so many will be the
slights she will apparently receive.
Most of the wounds of the sensi
tive 'girl are self-afflicted, only un
fortunately, she doesn't know It.
When she gains this knowledge her
suffering and her tears will soon
cease.
It Is wisdom that Is slow In coming,
for you can't make the sensitive girl
believe that the slights directed her
way are not Intended. She Is so sure
In her mind that her gtevance is Just
that argument Is hopeless.
Indeed, argument is hopeless most
of the time with the sensitive girl.
If you number such a one among
your friends or In your family, try to
change her way of looking at the
world, Instead of arguing with her
that her grievances are groundless.
Try to get her to see that the world
Is too big and people too busy to be
occupied in thinking up ways to hurt
her feelings, and that in the main
people are too kind to do such things
anyway. The idea that people are
continually shooting arrows her way
comes frequently from an overdevel
oped ego. She believes other people
are thinking as much about herself
as she Is, and their words and actions
she misconstrues as directed to her
self, when the probability is they
never had her in mind at all nor
thought of such a construction being
put upon their conduct.
This Is particularly true in business.
Business people are entirely too
rushed to mince words or to consider
how people may take what they say.
The sensitive girl is extremely fool
ish to think every unkind word, every
slur about poorly done work" or Blow
ness Is directed at her. Rest assured
if her work doesn't suit, she will hear
directly from her employer. He won't
beat around the bush about it. And
she needn't torture herself with the
thought that he is whipping her over
somebody else's shoulders.
Common sense and a philosophical
spirit are good cures for sensitive
ness. Bit these are the very qualifi
cations the sensitive girl' is apt to
lack. The best thing to help her is to
mix with the world and with people,
to get a. big, broad view of life where
in ishe will see how extremely small
she and her affairs are. This will
gradually give her a saner and more
rational viewpoint and her extreme
sensitiveness will disappear. She will
become much happier, much more
companionable. The sensitive girl
should endeavor to get this view of
life, for ' she is making herself
wretched over things which In the
main do not exist, for most of the
slights and wounds to her feelings
are imaginary, not reaU And it is a
pity to spoil life with imaginary Ills.

New York City. The blouse that
Is tucked over the shoulders yet plain
at the front is a favorite one Just
now, for It allows most effective use
of embroidery, soutache and trimming
of the sort. This one Is designed for
young girls and includes the new
tucked sleeves and Is altogether at
tractive. In the Illustration it is
shown made plain In one Instance,
with an embroidered front In the
other, and It is equally smart treated
In both ways. It Is adapted both to
the odd waist and to the entire dress
and to any seasonaoie material. The
tucks provide just becoming fulness
and If the plain tucked sleeves are not
liked the new ones in bishop style
can be substituted. Also there Is a
choice allowed of the stock or Dutch
collar.
The blouse Is made with front and
backs, which are laid in tucks over
the shoulders. When the stock collar
Is used it Is joined to the neck edge,
but if the Dutch collar Is desired it
can be finished separately. Both the
tucked and the bishop sleeves are cut
In one piece each and the bishop
sleeves are gathered Into bands.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen year Bize Is three and
seven-eighth yards twenty-four, two
and five-eighth yards thirty-two or
two and one-ourth yards forty-four
Inches wide.
Braiding.
A smarter way of employing braid
ing nowadays than as a regular trim
ming Is to use It as If It were embroid
ery, very fine braid, closely set, form
ing applied emplacements, pocket
flaps, deep hems to "ong stoles, elbow
cuffs and quaintly shaped supple
buckles or simulated clasps.
Jabots on Plastrons.
Jabots are usually worn on tha
transparent plastrons of the shawl
fashioned corsages.
Pretty Belts.
Ribbons of various kinds are used
with handsome buckles for belts,
though the fashionable ones show tha
printed flowers overstltched with silk
floss. The Idea Is good lu trimming
and brings out the flower in an em
bossed effect.
Misses' Skirt.
The skirt that Is made with a pleat
ed flounce at the sides and back is
always a pretty one and is greatly in
vogue, while It can be counted upon
to be absolutely smart for the coming
season. This one, designed for young
girls, is adapted to almost every sea
sonable material. The full length
panel at the front gives the long lines
that are always desirable, while the
flounce provides flare and fulness.
The back Is plain, finished In habit
style. In the illustration serge Is
stitched In tailor fashion, but band
ing of any sort can be used above the
flounce if a more elaborate effect is
wanted; the panel could be either
braided or embroidered, and, afe the
flounce Is straight, the skirt becomes
well adapted to all bordered ma
terials, so that It Is susceptible ot
many treatments In spite of Its sim
plicity. The skirt Is made In five gores with
the straight pleated flounce, which Is
Joined to the side and the back por
tions and to the front gore. The
closing Is made Invisibly at the
centre.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen year size Is six and

A "Pilot Boat Fry.'
The pilots have every facility for
securing the freshest of Bait water
fish, and one ot them says the only
way to fry fish Is to have pork fat
enough to submerge the fish, and fry
the pieces as you would doughnuts.
They must not be allowed to stick to
the frying pan and be broken up. In
other words, the slices are to be
boiled in very hot pork fat until a
nice brown.
To Keep Flowers Fresh.
Often when we go out, in the coun
try to see friends they unselfishly be
stow upon us some of the beauties
of their garden. But the thought of
how they will on the way home
"fade" frequently makes us decline
the flowers. ' If you are of such a
mind, the next time some are offered
to you don't do It. Instead ask
your friend to wrap a "damp" cloth
around the stems It will keep them
as fresh as can be as long as the
cloth remains moistened. Philadel

Use For Old Sheets.
A very good use to put old sheets
to Is the following: Tear them In half
and tack up behind the best gown In
your closet, against the wall. The
other half sew small brass curtain
rings to and hang over the gowns.
In this way they are protected In the
front and back from dust, and they
will also keep from fading by being
exposed to the light If the colors are
delicate shades. Old sheets are very
good when packing to cover the dif
ferent trays of the trunk, and so pro
tect clothes from dust which often
times will slip Into trunks. Newark

Massaging Cups,
If you cannot go to a professional
masseuse. It Is well to own one of tha
massaging cups that can be bought
for a small sum and do much to stir
up a tree circulation and to give ex
ercise to muscles.
These are small glass cups with a
rubber top. The latter is worked
gently, and the suction is quickly
felt on the flesh.
These cups can be profitably used
after the face has beeen well washed
and grease rubbed In. Be careful to
work it in an upward and outward
motion, as otherwise wrinkles will re
sult. New York Times.
The Spare Room Pitcher.
Every housekeeper knows how Im
possible it Is to replace pieces of
handsome washstand china when one
piece Is broken and usually it Is the
most important piece ot all, the
the pitcher, which meets with the ac
cident. A solution ot the problem is
the purchasing, not of a fancy-colored
toilet set, but ot a bowl and pitcher ot
clear glassware. The smaller pieces
may be easily provided In glass, and
the whole set looks daintily white
and clean on the washstand. These
crystal bowl and pitcher sets are not
at all expensive, a very gracefully
shaped set costing but $2 or $3.

Cleaning Wickcrwoik.
Do not scrub your unpainted wick
er furniture with soap and water,
as it will turn it yellow and ruin Its
looks. Instead try scrubbing it with
a strong solution of salt water.
If you have pieces that are so shab
by that they must either bo painted
or thrown away, try the salt water
treatment first. Scrub well and put
in the sun and air to dry quickly.
If you must paint wicker furni
ture, see that you buy a paint that Is
well mixed and thinned to the proper
consistency. If too thick It gets
lumpy and the paint is apt to rub oft
on clothes. Porch chairs that are ex
posed to weather should be finished
with a coat of enamel to make them
lost longer. The coat of enamel is
also more easily dusted. New York

Turkish Chair Cover.
In the perfectly appointed modern

bath, has made a pair of slip covers
for the white-enamelled chair.
They are of absorbent Turkish
toweling in white, perfectly wash
able, and the maker avers that each
week sees one of them sent to the
laundry. They do not extend as far
as the floor, but form a liberal cover,
cut to fit the back and the seat, over
which they slip, and reaching six

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.
It is a serious question sometimes
to know Just what to eat when a per
son's stomach Is out of order, and
most foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at
any time with the certainty that it
will digest. Actual experience of peo
ple Is valuable to any one Interested
In foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: "I
had suffered with indigestion for
about four years, ever since at attack
of typhoid fever, and at times could
eat nothing but the very lightest food
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach I would wish I never had to
eat anything.
''I was urged to try Grape-Nuts,
and since using it I do not have to
starve myself any more, but I can eat
It at any time and feel nourished and
satisfied; dyspepsia Is a thing of the
past, and I am now strong and well.
"My husband also had an exper
ience Ith Grape-Nuts. He was very
weak and sickly In the Bprlng. Could
not attend to his work. He was put V
under the doctor's care, but medicine
did not seem to do him any good un-
til he began to leave off ordinary food
and use Grape-Nuts. It was positive
ly surprising to see tne cnange in
him. He grew better right off, and
naturally he has none but words of .
praise for Grape-Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment; on It,
I am satisfied that It is because of the
great nourishing elements In Grape
Nuts." "There's a Reason."
It contains the phosphate of potash
from wheat and barley, which combines-with

nerve centres.
It Is a pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. Thereare
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind of food, and '
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real
way Is to stick to proper food and be
healthy and get along without medi
cine and expense.
